The Mint Museum Wedding | Melinda + Scott

Melinda and Scott were married at the Mint Museum Uptown with the design and direction of the ever-fabulous, Ashley, owner of The Graceful Host. The bridal party got ready at the Westin Charlotte, and the bride and her girls were beautified by Sara Egri. All of the bright, gorgeous flower designs were provided by New Creations Flower Company. One of the most gorgeously detailed cakes (that I have ever seen!) was created by the talent of WOW Factor Cakes. Seriously, check out the hand painted detail. If you’re looking for a different “spin” on a keepsake from your wedding, consider contacting Ben and Jennifer Keys from Wed On Canvas. Ben paints your wedding as it’s happening in real time! Check out his work in the gallery below. By the end of the night, my face literally hurt from the immense amount of smiling, not only from the fun and laughter shared with guests during the reception… but also because I literally couldn’t help but smile as I watched the Sol Fusion Band‘s chemistry and pure talent. My team and I felt like we witnessed ten concerts in four hours all with one band! They come highly recommended to anyone looking for an insanely talented group of musicians. Along with the spectacular food all day long, Best Impression Caterers brought out the most amazing maple glazed bacon donuts and hamburger sliders at the end of the night for some additional fuel after dancing so many hours… what a treat. I really can’t say enough about this perfectly designed wedding. I feel so lucky to be able to share the day with such highly talented wedding vendors… and two of the kindest souls, our gorgeous bride and groom, who have become dear friends. Check out some of my favorite moments and images below…

This is Melinda’s face as she walked into the transformed room, all by the vision of Ashley, The Graceful Host.

This is when she saw THAT GORGEOUS CAKE!

Champagne to all guests as they were ushered into the museum, BEFORE the ceremony… love their style!

Scott walked down the aisle and met his bride… and they walked TOGETHER to the altar. Touching.
